Abstract

An in situ ESR study of Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) indicates dramatic changes in the ESR lineshape (A/B ratio) and intensity upon exposure to fluorine or HNO3. The results can be interpreted by the formation of a macroscopic intercalation layer and the advance of the boundary separating this layer from the as yet unintercalated HOPG. The measurements yield the diffusion coefficients during the intercalation process.
